Cloth Diapering and the Grandparents

I am learning that my mismatched cloth diaper stash, while perfectly serviceable to me, is a deterrent to getting the grandparents on board with cloth diapering. It is hard enough with their preconceived notions about cloth diapering in general: stinky diaper pails, toilet bowl swishing, pin-pricking pain in the you-know-what. Now they are confused. How do you use the prefolds? What is a Snappi? How much and what to stuff in the pocket diapers (what IS a pocket diaper)?If I had to do it all over again - I would choose and stick to one method. And if the grandparents were watching the baby a lot, I would go with an AIO or AI2, like the BumGenius Organic or GroBaby system. It would have been a lot cheaper that way!But I had to try everything - and that is to my customer's benefit.
